Hi there, I'm Mariko!

I truly care for all my clients and go above and beyond to help them find the answers they seek. I believe that there is more going right with a person than wrong. We work together to find and explore the strengths and supports that you already have as you work on the issues that brought you to therapy.

My focus

I work with individuals, couples, and families dealing with anxiety, depression, grief, anger management, childhood abuse, parenting difficulties, low self-esteem, and communication problems. I have specialty knowledge with first responders, victims of domestic violence, personality disorders, substance abuse, and suicidal ideation.

My approach

My approach is strengths-based and multi-faceted, drawing on existential, humanistic, systems, and behavior theories. I focus on empowering you to find meaning and purpose, make authentic choices, and reach your full potential. I encourage exploring feelings, anxieties, and past experiences to become more liberated, self-aware, and secure.
